Just finished Troubles by J.G. Farrell - this is the "lost Booker" winner. Really good book, though I guess not at all what I was expecting. About the British presence in Ireland just after the first World War - a period I know absolutely nothing about - but with current day overtones, what with all the terrorism going on.
Going for a lighter touch next with Bill Bryson's At Home and I'll probably start The Finkler Question just to have a novel going, too.
